YES! 😊

That little Spanish interlude he threw in there isnnot actually part of "Clap". That was just improvised in on the performance. Please do more Yes. Greatest band ever.

Steve is a genius, super creative and his overall style is so unique. You'd love a lot of Yes music, and a lot of Steve's solo stuff. He's still going strong.

I have been playing that tune for about 25 years. Most satisfying...

only one of the best in the world.

Listen to turn of the century

He was a big Chet Atkins (americana) and Wes Montgomery fan and that comes through in his playing. Pronounced Steve HOW (means hill in older English). Anything of "The Yes Album" is a good start. Another nice jazzy song played live is "Perpetual Change" off of the live Yes Songs album.

Steve Howe is stellar. The best way to approach Yes is to go chronologically starting with their 3rd studio album - The Yes Album (Howe's debut in the band and which also has a better performance of 'Clap') and proceed from there. Also, it's better to do the studio versions of their songs to get the real sense of their work, also because there aren't many good quality live videos of this band.

Steve Howe (pronounced How) was voted best overall guitarist for 5 years straight by a poll of his peers. He joined "YES" and their first album together was the "YES" album. I suggest " Turn of the Century" from 1977 for a really beautiful song.

After the 5th time, Guitar Player Magazine created their Hall of Fame and he was the inaugural member... gotta give some others a chance. Last time I looked, the only other members are Steve Morse and Eric Johnson. Agree 1000% on _Turn_

Steve has another famous acoustic piece he plays in concert "Mood For A Day" in many concerts, and some YT vids, he will start with Clap, then play Mood For A Day and then mid way, then end with the last half of Clap. He has many solo albums where he plays so many of his other creations "Masquerade", and "Surface Tension" are some of my favorites "Beginnings" is a classical baroque style piece which he is famous for. There is an older YT video where he plays with Patrick Moraz on harpsichord. "Sketches In The Sun: is another too many to list here. You should listen to the "Relayer: album if you want to here Yes as their most experimentally progressive.

Great reaction to the greatest show on earth. Chet was one of Steve idols. Steve is self-taught like his band mates in YES Jon Anderson vocals and Chris Squire bass. ✨️🎶✨️ Yours Is No Disgrace is a great intro to YES with Steve
